Drywall Services We Handle
We handle drywall installation, repair, patching, and finishing for houses, garages, and commercial spaces throughout Ocala and the surrounding towns.

See the full list on our Services page, or call (352) 644-9394 and describe what you're looking at. We can usually tell you which category your job falls into over the phone and give you a rough sense of the range before we even see it.
How a Job Runs
The steps below are the same whether it's a one-room patch or a full installation. The scale changes, not the order.
- Consultation. We talk through what you need, in person or by phone.
- Measurements, photos, and scope. We measure the space and write down exactly what the job includes.
- Board and finish-level plan. We tell you which board (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated) and which finish level fits the room.
- Site protection. Floors and furniture get covered before any cutting or sanding starts.
- Hang. Board goes up, screwed to code spacing.
- Tape, mud, sand, texture. Seams get taped, three coats of mud, sanded smooth, texture matched in daylight so it reads right once the lights go back on.
- Quality review and punch list. We walk the room with you and note anything that needs another pass.
- Cleanup and handoff. Dust gets vacuumed out and the room is left ready for paint.

Questions
A small patch usually runs $250 to $450. A larger patch, or one that needs texture matching, runs $450 to $900. The exact number depends on size and how much texture work it needs.
Hung and finished drywall runs $2.00 to $3.50 per square foot in most homes. A single room often lands between $900 and $2,400 all in, depending on finish level.
Most patches take one day for the mud work plus a day to dry and sand, so plan on two days from start to paint-ready. Larger repairs or ones with texture matching can take a bit longer.
Yes. We look at the job and give you a free written quote with a firm price before anything starts. That price does not change unless the scope changes.
